How long has it been? I know it's been over a year since I've posted anything on here, and I'm sure that nobody will probably even read this since people stopped following this page a long time ago. But for those of you who happen to see this who have followed: Here is an update.
I'm not even going to begin to go through my previous posts and see where I left off, so I'm just going to wing this. I deployed to Afghanistan, and I did my duty, and now it's over. I will be heading home within the next few days and I couldn't be happier than I am now. I spent a year in this shit hole that they call a "Country" and I saw some cool stuff, and a lot of stuff I never want to see again (mostly the people who live here.) I was here when they caught and killed Bin Laden, and now it's time to go home and enjoy some of the finer things in life. I got married a while back and I'm going home to spend some much needed time with my woman and drink some of that good ole' German beer. We will be spending our leave in Athens Greece and doing pretty much nothing but enjoying ourselves.
I am going to stop there for now, I'm already getting tired of hearing myself talk. I might pick back up sometime soon, maybe when I'm home. I just decided to log back in and check this old site out and write a little something. If I feel the desire to pick it back up I will, or I might just let it die and carry on living life.
Enjoy.

don't let it die. i read it. that's at least one person, right? i find you intriguing. i haven't been on for over a year, either. and i'll probably keep forgetting. but you should keep writing.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding. Thank you. You have helped me also to have a better understanding of what my son is enduring. I couldn't be more proud. Don't stop writing. This could be a very rewarding accomplishment ;). Thanks SPC Mike Zaleuke. Thank you for serving our country too!
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure how I came across your blog, but my son is marching to Honor Hill tonight, or early morning rather, and I just did a google on the rest of basic! I'm a bit surprised that once you got that pin that things did not ease off -- I think my son is expecting that as well. So -- I'll keep praying for him! Can't have enough prayers in this day and age for our troops, I don't think. While we may be strangers, I did read some of your blog and I want to thank you for your service to our country! May God bless you! Thank you so much! -- Sherry, Just A Mom
ReplyDeleteMike,
ReplyDeleteI came upon your blog while researching Army BCT and did not stop reading until the end. I ship March 4, 2013 to Ft. Benning as an 11 Charlie. Your story has helped me prepare mentally and physically for the challenge to come and I thank you for sharing your experiences with the world. Also, thank you for your service at home and abroad. My wife is currently reading this; I wanted her to know and understand what I will be going through. Thanks again.
